Paraleipsis
\Par`a*leip"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ?, fr. ? to leave
on one side, to omit; para` beside + ? to leave.] (Rhet.)
A pretended or apparent omission; a figure by which a speaker
artfully pretends to pass by what he really mentions; as, for
example, if an orator should say,
“I do not speak of my
adversary's scandalous venality and rapacity, his brutal
conduct, his treachery and malice.” [Written also
paralepsis,
paralepsy,
paralipsis.]
[1913 Webster]
